It seems i have falsely assumed that everyone on this list remembers Daniels posting on the accounting tools he made. For the information of those who don't know where to get this stuff: It is available via anonymous ftp from mcsun.eu.net in the directory ~ftp/network/cisco and is called account.shar.Z. Marc Marc R.

I collect ifInOctets, ifOutOctets, and sysUpTime every 2 minutes. I then munge the data to get a data rate and write it to a file. Then, I use another gawk script to separate the input and output data into several temp files that are feed to xgnuplot for display on a workstation running X. This shows the peaks nicely, complete with time of day. We have a 14.4k baud link that I've been monitoring, and the graphs regularly flatten out at 14.4k baud. We are now planning to upgrade the link to 56kb. Graphs alway help to impress the management :-). Wayne "Out of the frying pan (hardware), and into the fire (software)!"

What is the best way to get serial line utilization statistics from cisco routers? I have turned on ip accounting and got session statistics, but I would like more information about hourly averages, peaks, etc. thanks, marita o'brien morgan stanley

I have a short awk script which produces an overview about current utilization of all interfaces. I run a second script telling me about status of the routing protocols.
